Arm and Hand Position

Fast walking needs powerful propulsion from the arms and back muscles. So although your appendages are relaxed, you will actively engage the muscles in your back that move them, since they are counterbalances to the legs. Many fitness walkers can accomplish a great deal by simply bending their arms at the elbow in a 90-degree angle (no larger) and using them actively rather than carrying them passively.
